Avast makes my pc laggy

[DJ Panda]

Hmm are you sure there isn't any viruses or malware running on your computer. I have sworn by Avast for many years without any problems..

Forgot to ask have you installed any new software recently? Maybe a conflict is the reason.

I have a suggestion, but first let me try and substantiate my theory.

in the 2015 I bought Kaspersky IS 2015 and it ran really fast on my PC...Then in the first part of 2016 I bought Kaspersky IS 2016. It made my PC run very slow, same with web pages. I waited a few months and this month I tried Kaspersky IS 2016 again and it works great. Now I di all three of these installs off the same image BU of my PC so it wasn't anything I did.

SO if I were you I would try an early version of Avast, you can download them just google for an earlier version or maybe Avast even keeps earlier versions on their website.

One possible move is to conduct clean install of your O.S then right after, install Avast to monitor the behavior.

Usually it conflicts on 3rd party programs to run the system correctly.

done but still the same as before

u should uninstall it by avast uninstall tool here the link for it Avast FAQ | Avast 2016: Using the Uninstall Utility and follow the instructions

Did you try uninstalling > reboot > reinstalling? See @mostafa96's post above for Uninstall Tool.

Remember to re-enter license code, or use file.

@Mr.NoName: Well if you insist to use Avast, then make a custom installation since it can reduce any possible slowdowns once take over on the system.

No offense m8, but it's not AVAST that's the problem. Hardware transcends AV optimizations.

It's just like video games. One guy will have a top-tier NVIDIA card that runs lovely on a game, and then you'll have a guy with a top-tier AMD card that runs average on that game. Both are good cards, but one's just more optimized for that particular game. Same logic applies to AV's.

The culprit has been ID'ed. Your processor is behind the times.

Edit: been corrected

I misread the i7, you're correct. I wonder if it could be a Windows 8.1 issue, as well. I'm not sure if AVAST, particularly after it's NITRO update, is more optimized for Windows 10.

No performance hits on Windows 10, with Avast Premier. Again not tested on Windows 7 or 8.1. You might be able to solve it using the Avast Forum.
